KBIL intends to develop a land lot with an approximate area of 136,450 sqm in Bac Ninh Province, Vietnam that will be handed over to Minh Quang from the second half of 2024 onwards.
The land, which KBIL will turn into industrial facilities for lease, has a land tenure of about 45 years to 2069.
According to Boustead Projects , Vietnam continues to stand out as one of the world’s fastest growing economies, with a proven track record in offering multinational corporations the ideal business environment for investment, manufacturing operations and logistics networks.
Given its strategic location and long-term growth factors, the company believes the injection of Minh Quang’s land into KBIL aligns with its prudent expansion strategy and will strengthen its presence in the key market of Vietnam.
